- tyingq 5y ago"The DOS command CTTY COM2 uses the VT100 for console operations" Or you might have some other DOS software listening on the serial port. Kermit, some BBS, etc.
- tiborsaas 5y agoI should have added that I never used terminals before, so that little hint is unfortunately is not that helpful for me. Edit: nevermind, I got it, it's like SSH-ing to a server.
- anthk 5y agoMore like a physical and real terminal instead of a terminal emulator, displaying up a shell once the computer sends you the connection bits here and there. Also you could interface modems by serial and you could send commands over the wire. More like telnet than ssh.
- blueflow 5y agoSetup that i use for a vt520 on com1, 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity: C>MODE COM1:9600,N,8,2 C>CTTY COM1 You can also do it from the autoexec.bat if you want to.
